The Trends are Encouraging but We Must Keep the Pressure On.

A scanning of this morning’s headlines shows some very encouraging trends.  Gallop shows Romney at 50% or above for the fifth day in a row in their poll of likely voters (1) (2).  The Real Clear Politics Electoral College Poll, which uses an average of various polls, also shows Romney has taken the important Electoral College lead (3).  In addition, polling in the important battle ground state of Ohio shows Romney only trailing by 1 point in polling that samples 8% more democrats than Republicans (4).  There are even signs the media is losing confidence in an Obama victory (5).  The Obama campaign has also had to borrow $15 million from the Bank of America, a sign the campaign’s fund raising is falling behind (6). 

I am sure these trends have many in the Obama Campaign going into panic mode with a little over two weeks left until the election.  However, Romney supporters must not become complacent for much can happen in two weeks.  Therefore, we must keep the pressure on and work hard to turn out the vote in support for Romney because are also voting for more than just our next President this election cycle. 

One of the main issues energizing the Romney base this election is the repeal of Obamacare.  We also must stop Taxmageddon, which is set up to occur on January 1, 2013 unless Congress intervenes before then.  Both of these require not only taking control of the White House, but also maintaining a Republican majority in the House of Representatives and gaining Republican control of the Senate.  Moreover, we need a strong turnout to insure Republicans gain victory in state and local governments.  Many states also have ballot propositions that will have either a positive or a negative impact on local communities.  Therefore, in order to insure sweeping reform at all levels of government, we must have a massive turnout of freedom loving, concerned citizens all across the country. 

In the 2010 mid-terms we did exactly that.  The massive turnout, spurred on by the tea party movement, not only restored Republican control of the House of Representatives but also caused many state legislatures and governorships to turn Republican.  In addition, even though the effort did make gains in the Senate it failed to take control of the Senate away from the Democrats. 

In this election, we have an opportunity to take back the White House and make additional gains in the Senate so we can achieve a Republican majority.  This will mean that President Romney can make look forward to receiving legislation to repeal Obamacare as well as legislation stopping Taxmageddon.  President Romney can then work with the Senate and House to begin balancing the budget and reducing our crippling national debt. 

The bottom line is that we can and need to insure a record turnout of conservative voters to save our country.  Many have died throughout our history to insure our freedoms and liberties.  Now it is our turn to preserve our freedoms and liberties by voting for Romney and Republicans for the House and Senate.  We also need to vote for Republicans in our state and local elections in order to maintain our freedoms and liberties there as well. 

We meet at dawn on November 6 to begin the process of changing our country.  Let’s show up in big numbers and insure a big victory.
